Firefighter Goes On Routine Call And Ends Up In Tears

When firefighters showed up at a dilapidated house in Long Island, New York, on Saturday, they knew something wasn't quite right. The fire had already been put out and the couple who lived there was frantically trying to cancel the call.

"You ought to be ashamed of yourself for treating these dogs like this," he said. "He said something like, 'I'm a breeder and this is my income.'"

At that point, the firefighter admitted, "I may have lost my cool."

"I've seen a lot of horrible things from people and it doesn't really bother me much, but when it comes to animals I absolutely cannot deal," he said. "All I cared about was the dogs and getting them out of the house."
